The boys are doing well and we are executing the project just as we designed it. That, of course, makes us very happy. The players are very well integrated, they are able to maintain physical intensity, and they have various aspects of the game. All in all, we have high expectations as this is also a pre-match match, in view of what the match will start in a few more days. Another thing we focus on is that the players enjoy this experience, which is the first international Test for many and our goal is to go with them in the best possible way, ”said the Argentine coach.
